Cobain brings nothing to table in terms of originality and technically he is a joke. Sure he was different for 1990 pop music scene but he milked a sound that had been done 15 years before. He was just the right guy at the right time.
I know 100's of gtr players in the Boston area who did the whole melodic post punk think as far back as 1980. Cobain was a follower. He stole so much from bands like the Pixies an the Fu's. And I wouldn't even consider them pioneers
as far as gtr playing
If youve never seen a Les Paul and the first Paul you saw
was an epiphone I guess you wouldn't know the difference.
can we see the future buy looking behind???? |
Can't say I've ever
liked Les Pauls.
(I
do have a Gibson, though, an ES 325, and it's an interesting guitar. I admire the craft in it but it's not my favorite guitar, I'm afraid, though it is my most expensive. But, of course, it's a
whole different kind of guitar designed for a whole different kind of sound.)
And I was NOT directly comparing Cobain with Jones -- I was just saying that while neither would probably be considered a great guitar player by most folks that both did just what they needed to do to put over the music they were making.
I suspect you don't much care for anything Cobain did -- and that's fine, different strokes and all that. Let's put it this way: his guitar playing served his music well, I think.

I think the question is can we
buy the future by looking up someone's
behind?
